Commercial Finance Manager Pricing & Profitability

Commercial Finance Manager (Pricing & Profitability) Leeds (Hybrid) £60,000 - £70,000

There's a lot that gets talked about when it comes to "commercial finance." Some people think it's just fancy reporting. Others know it's about getting under the skin of a business - how it makes money, loses money, and everything in between.

This role is firmly in the second camp.

You'll be the go-to person for pricing, margin, and profitability. The one who can look at a spreadsheet and spot the problem before anyone else even realises it's there. You'll sit close to the numbers and the decision-making - working hand-in-hand with the CFO, Commercial Director and Operations Director to make sure the business knows exactly where it's making (or losing) money.

This is a hands-on, high-influence role - ideal for someone who wants to move beyond analysis and have a genuine say in how the business makes money.

What you'll be doing:

• Own and develop all pricing and margin models across transport, pallet network and storage.
• Lead commercial analysis that helps shape pricing strategy and improve profitability.
• Build and maintain dashboards and pricing tools in Excel, Power BI and Power Platform.
• Deliver clear, actionable insight for the CFO and Board - not just data dumps.
• Work with senior stakeholders to improve cost recovery, rate structures and margin performance.
• Support contract reviews, pricing governance and commercial negotiations.
• Review and challenge supplier and network costs to protect margin and cash.

What you'll need:

• Proven senior commercial finance experience - qualified or qualified by experience considered.
• Advanced Excel and Power BI skills.
• Experience with large data set analysis, advanced reporting and insight.
• Strong background in pricing, margin and profitability, ideally within a B2B environment (not essential).
• Confident communicator who can challenge and influence at senior level.
• Analytical, credible and commercially sharp.

What's in it for you:

• £60,000 - £70,000 salary depending on experience.
• Mentored by a vastly experienced CFO with a strong commercial background.
• Hybrid working and flexible approach.
• 33 days holiday, plus extra with service.
• Medicash Plan & Employee Assistance Programme.

Finance is taken seriously here - not as a back-office function, but as a driver of smarter decisions and stronger margins.

If that's the kind of role you've been waiting for, it's probably worth a chat.
